IP on Serial Interface

I am monitoring the ethernet interface of my routers. Is there a way to send both the ethernet IP address and the serial interface IP address in the alert that is emailed to me? Thanks!

I can't think of a way, but you'd be better off making a loopback on the router and monitor it via that. By doing that, if either of your other interfaces goes down, you could still have connectivity if you have redundancy. Otherwise, the interface that your monitoring goes down so does your monitoring. Loopbacks are always up and great for this type of use.
